Is Kansas City a possible landing spot for Tony Romo?

It feels weird even asking this, but people are bringing it up so it’s inevitable: could quarterback Tony Romo come to Kansas City?

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk ran a piece on Tuesday asking fans where they think the Cowboys QB could end up next season. The Chiefs were among seven teams in his poll (as well as the Denver Broncos).

It’s worth noting that the Chiefs received the least amount of votes on that poll with 2.3 percent. Honestly I think that represents the chances he has of coming to KC because it’s something I don’t see happening.

Lately a handful of folks have been speculating that the Chiefs possibly want to move on from Alex Smith next season (most recently Jason Cole of Bleacher Report). But to me, this is Smith’s team and it’s going to take a lot to run him out of KC.

Do I think that, when healthy, Romo is a better QB than Smith? Actually, yes I do. But the key there is “when healthy,” which is never for Romo. He is 36 years old and has played only four games since the beginning of 2015. It seems like his career is winding down.

If the Chiefs want to take the steps to move on from Smith in the future, fine. It’s understandable. He’s not getting any younger, and he is what he is on the field. But investing in a first-round QB from the NFL draft is probably the way to go, not investing in an injury-prone QB that’s nearing his 40s.
